Earlier today, New 42 Studios hosted a luncheon to celebrate 25 years of making Broadway. New 42 Studios’ silver anniversary and the organization’s recent Tony Honor for Excellence in the Theatre provide the ideal moment to reflect upon New 42 Studios’ impact on the Broadway community. Since its inception in 2000, New 42 Studios has helped over 1,500 rehearsing productions make it to the stage, including 18 Tony Award winners for Best Play and Best Musical!
Inspired by MGM Studios’ once-in-a-generation luncheon commemorating their 25th anniversary, this event, hosted by Jonathan Groff and New 42 Artist Council Member Sarah Jessica Parker, the intimate luncheon showcased Broadway’s past, present, and future.
BroadwayWorld was there for the special day and you can check out photos from the red carpet below!
